The Collection of Jacqueline Robinson, Paris; Private collection
possibly exhibited at the Dublin Painters` Gallery, 12-14 October 1953, this exhibition included works in oil, monotypes, gouaches and watercolours and depicted similar scenes of beasts and woodlands
During the early 1950s Basil Rákóczi published a range of works including de luxe editions of his own poems and illustrations, Song Book of Idiot Boy, (Paris, 1953) and The Caged and The Free (Paris, 1955) many of which published were also connected with the artistic collective, The White Stag (`Editions du Cerf Blanc` (White Stag Press’). This escape into another form of expression activated the artist and inspired some of his most important creations including the later work, Jacqueline Robinson`s Et ce chant dans mon coeur... sept poemes (1971). Robinson was a dancer and friend of Mainie Jellett`s who established her own dance company in Paris. She was closely affiliated with Basil Rákóczi and other members of The White Stag. Rákóczi painted Jacqueline on a few occasions and the two were romantically linked for a time.
